WHOA! DRAMA!
Can we just appriciate this contest for what it truly is made for?
Having fun and helping people improve.
To me, I don't care who wins or loses and whether or not I make it to the top or not. I care about how everyone gets together to submit simfiles massively and add more sims to my collection. A song may not be the best to me, but I'd still enjoy it somehow.
If you don't win, don't worry about it. You may have made someone happy with your sim... hopefully...
I'm wondering why you are all getting upset over an online contest. There were newcomers to this contest who might not come back because of this horrible drama and dumb rating rant. I mean, when a review says "This file sucks." without a valid reason, it makes the user feel bad. If it was said as "This file could use a lot of improvement." and actually gave helpful advice as to fix it up to be better, then it would make the user feel more confident for the next contest and make him/her not worry about feeling horrible.
Can't we just have fun with this? Can't we just forget about the judging for a minute? The judging is just to see which file is a crowd favorite, not to see who wins. Besides, your not winning anything, right? WHY FIGHT OVER IT!?
Most of this will probably not make since, but I sometimes have a tough time saying what I want to say...
I say the next contest, everyone judges, then the users fix up the simfiles as much as possible from the suggestions, then it all gets released as a huge simfile pack that has all good quality sims. The only thing the judging would do is see whose file ranks up as being "good quality" from the start and not needing improvement...
